HB 90 would save lives by allowing police officers to enforce the state’s under-observed seatbelt law as a “primary” offense — just like most other traffic violations. The bill is opposed by some state legislators, who say that it “gives police power the biggest expansion in Missouri history” — and that it would worsen the problem of racial profiling by police officers.
